Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow set the social media sphere on fire these past two days. His name was mentioned on websites like Twitter and Facebook more than 1.16 million times since Sunday.

The excitement over Tebow and Denver's overtime playoff upset of the Steelers also brought about another phenomenon: creative spelling.

Tebow's name appeared incorrectly nearly 200,000 times, spelled 47 ways, according to social-media monitoring firm Salesforce Radian6. The most popular misspelling was "teebow" (4,163 mentions)—which, in many cases, may just have been an unintentional mistake.

But other people clearly were emphasizing parts of Tebow's name in their glee (or anguish). In this regard, extra E's (like "teeeebow"—661 times) were more in vogue than extra O's or W's (like "teboowww"—98 times).
